My wife and I started our weight loss journey on April 1st this year and have had some great success since we started. She's lost 25lbs and I've lost almost 40! We celebrated our first wedding anniversary this last weekend. Here are some before and during pictures.

That is wonderful and congratulations on your anniversary. I guess you spur each other on. My husband and I will be married 20 years next month and now I wear his T-shirts -eek! Any tips you can pass on?0

The biggest thing for us was only having healthy food in the house. I'm not bad about controlling what I eat, but my wife tends to have less control over herself ha... We also started eating dinner earlier in the evening. We used to eat around 8 or 9 and the past couple months we normally eat around 6.
The hardest thing for us is finding exercise that we can do together. I prefer to go biking and jogging while my wife would rather go on our elliptical at home. We've started going for walks together with our dogs and I think eventually she'll be able to start jogging with me as well. It's a long process, so don't feel the need to rush things. My cardiovascular ability is a lot higher than my wife's so I've had to learn to tone things down a bit when we work out together.
Another item that helped was keeping each other accountable for your own personal goals and then celebrate together once you accomplish them!
Hope this helped!
